So the left over footage from PAX includes a few minutes of Demigod footage with some detailed developer commentary. The explanations highlight your demigod’s character development as you play – the big old central unit in your battle will grow stronger and expand in powers during each bout against another demigod. So it’s that whole RTS-but-ooh-we-have-RPG-stats-for-heroes thing. The footage also give you some idea of how the game plays – a fairly fast-paced action RTS, via way of the tower of Babel and cosmic battle-chess. It’s looking good.

Just checked the proportions of the trailer against my beta and it seems like they are the same when fully zoomed in. Only difference is that I didn’t find a way to change camera pitch (I’d guess it will be added or I was just too dumb to hit the right key :P), and so it doesn’t look quite as good.link to img225.imagevenue.com

Agreed, Kitt. You’d want some sense of power like that since you’re some huge Demogod powerhouse. You should be able to just stomp through minions and they should just make more and more minions per spawn so that there’s more to wipe out since it’d be easier.

I see this game selling well, its cross targeted at sup com fans and wc3 fans. But mainly i mean the game is petty enough that people who judge a game by the back of the box will get it.

I think the worst thing about this game is that it will undoubtedly be using GPG’s GODFUCKINGAWFUL multiplayer client.

It’s the one that installs patches chronologically rather than taking the closest all-in-one patch to update your games.
It’s the one that will always download patches that fail to patch correctly on freshly installed games, then upon failure will continue to patch again and again with Supreme Optimism that eventually the stars will align and it might just work. And doesn’t. It will then cheerfully tell you to re-install your game. That’s 10gb and 20 minutes later people.
It’s the one that makes GameSpy stuff look brilliant.
Above all it’s the one that makes you wonder why you cant just run online games from within the game you’re trying to play.

MeestaNob!
No, it won’t.
It’ll use Impulse which won’t do that.
AFAIK it downloads/installs the FILES themselves, not .exe installers.
So it will just update which individual files you have which are old, and not keep downloading/installing multiple old versions of that file.

And you can verify the install to fix any files if any files get problems rather than reinstall.
